Any idea?
Honestly it dosnt look that bad I get some of my seedlings that start out like that but once they get a bit bigger they will be fine.
Just make sure your not over watering or over feeding if you are even using nutes right now. I don't have to give nutes for the first couple weeks because the soil i have has a tiny bit of nutes already

I'm doing some autos so I planted the seeds directly into the final pots. After they sprouted I was watering just around the stem like a solo cup sized ring. I didn't think to water the pots completely before planting so the soil was pretty dry. Then I started having pretty low humidity after 3-4 days. So I took about a gallon of pH'd water and dispersed it between four pots to get the soil wet all the way through. I should have done that first in hindsight. After the humidity came back up. I've done the gallon between the four pots a couple times. After that I check the weight every day. Seems after I water them it takes about 2-3 days for them to get dry. I didn't know if the discoloration was because I'm using pH'd tap water or it was a nitrogen deficiency. I have a TDS meter coming in the next day or two so I can check the ppm of my water. But the last grow I did I used the same tap water beginning to end with absolutely no problems. I'm going to water them tonight. Then in a few days I can check my water with the tds and I might try giving them their first feeding. I've got the fox farms trio I think I'll go about half the recommended dose and add some calmag. Or should I just give them plain pH'd water again. They broke the soil two weeks ago on the 12th. Thanks for any advice in advance.
